I think he is one of the finest writers, and I am not saying &#39;Hindi writers&#39; on purpose -he could convey emotions like the anguish and helplessness of the poor and unfortunate in such simple words.

But I do remember learning Harivansh Rai Bachchan&#39;s poems and Premchand&#39;s stories. I remembered the former. But not the latter. Now, as I read this post, it all came to me. I think it was an excerpt from Idgaah we had to learn in our CBSE curriculum. I should probably go hunt for the book. This post has inspired me to read his work. Specially the one we learnt. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127779950595554873.post-20882094497609420192016-08-10T17:36:08.608+05:302016-08-10T17:36:08.608+05:30Great knowing this writer whose writing seems to b...Great knowing this writer whose writing seems to be revolutionary, even at that time period!

I have read many of his stories when I was growing up and always felt how he could connect beautifully with those simple emotions and he was way ahead of his times. Recently my younger son had Idgaah in his Hindi text and he was so touched by it that he asked me to get some more of his stories. I was elated. I also remember that there was a great serial that was based on one of his stories that used to come a long time back and I used to love watching it. I loved the doodle too.

I have read some of his works in my school and college days as Hindi was one of subjects.Though I am from South, I love reading Hindi and Urdu.<br /><br />I like his works very much,like those of Sarath Chandra Chatterji. Though I have read some of his novels, I like short stories, especially like Shatraj ke Khiladi. This was made into a movie and it is a treat to watch many time with actors like Sanjeev Kumar, Amzad Khan, Farooq Shaik and Shabana Azmi among many other good actors.<br /><br />Nice post.
